The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said 33-year-old Jeremy West of Mounds was driving southbound on the north side of Highway 75 near 201st St. S Friday night.
Beggs Police, Okmulgee County, Tulsa County and Creek county all attempted to catch up to West, but he crashed head-on into 24-year-old Rowdy Hartley's pickup.
The collision happened near 241st St. S around 10:45pm. It took 20 minutes to free both men from their vehicles with the Jaws of Life. West was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hartley, of Weatherford, was taken to a Tulsa hospital and is listed in stable condition.

Rowdy is my cousin and I thank God he survived! I saw the trucks both of them at the scene Friday night, and I know that it was only by the grace of God that he survived. I offer my prayers to the West family. There are something we may never understand about this accident. But I am thankful that my cousin was wearing his seatbelt and survived! He had Jesus and his angels with him on that night!
